If necessary, we arrange for carrying out an upgrade work to ensure local road and rail links can carry heavy-lift and oversized loads safely. For transports through the Russian navigation system, hydrographic surveys of shallow waters are made in order to also identify safe heavens in case of bad weather conditions en route.
